Video : Altenew March 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Today I have some ‘Mega’ tips in my video to share for the new release at Altenew! If you are hopping along you should have arrived from FLORA’s fabulous blog.

I have two cards and one video, starting with a very clean & simple design using the Neighborhood Stamp Set. This is a fun set with some great elements and sentiments and I decided to use just a portion of the main street image.

Therese, I adore your neighborhood… I want to live in the tiny red one – hoping you live in one of those on either side!!! I know this succulent is going to be hard to resist – or maybe not? off to watch!

Love your two cards. The first one is very simple, but with lots of interest added in the embossed pegboard background. The second one is beautiful with terrific Zig water-coloring and love how the negative die cut image is used. TFS your talent and great technique ideas!

WOW! What an amazing release! I absolutely love the floral stamps – especially the sweet rose bouquet – and I love to stitch on cards, so I can’t wait to get the cross stitch die. Thanks for all the inspiration! Your cards never disappoint!

I have a succulent in my back yard that I love and care for, which means having a love/hate relationship with a Cardinal that comes to chew the leaves and eat them. He’s lucky that he’s so pretty. ha-ha Cute cards.

Therese, you’ve used two of the three favourites I have in this release & I just love what you did with them! The neighbourhood is such a cute die & I adore the mega succulent too. You coloured it so very well. Thanks for the video.

Such a stunning card! I really like how you used the florescent green embossing powder for that extra pop of color. Since I have that embossing powder and the zig markers I’m stealing your idea as soon as i can order the stamp!😁. BTW, succulents have leaves so you were spot on with your guessing. TFS. I’m a loyal follower who is always watching my inbox for videos from you!!

A fabulous new release from Altenew! I’ve commented on the succulent card via youtube, but I’m back to compliment you on the clean and simple New Home card – I just love it! That happy red is super – especially in the sentiment!

WOW – FABULOUS cards!
LOVE the texture and sweet little houses, ADORE your STUNNING miss you and creative negative sentiment!
Thank You for sharing and INSPIRING 🙂
PS – I had two favourites from this release (the Cross Stitch Canvas Die & the Dearest Friend stamp set) but have to confess that the more I hop along, the longer my wish list grows

Just adore both the cards.
Love what you’ve done with the succulent stamp though. The colours are amazing and really enjoyed how you’ve used the reverse image of the word die, so very clever.

I love how you used the pegboard cover die to add texture to the happy home card…what a wonderful way to add texture. The mega succulent card is GORGEOUS! I absolutely love the coloring you did and using the negative space for the greeting was a great touch

That is one seriously beautiful stamp, and you have given me the courage to attempt to paint those colors. I keep wondering how to get the pink tips without making a muddy color, but it seems to work ok, so I am willing to give it a try! Thank you.

I always look forward to seeing what you’ve created when you participate on Altenew blog hops. You have an fun ability to put a fun twist on using the supplies in a somewhat unexpected way. Love todays cards – you absolutely lived up to my expectations – these cards have the unexpected touches and are beautiful!

Your shading on the succulent image is just wonderful…perseverance certainly pays off! I really also like the Pegboard Canvas CD…it looks wonderfully useful, this is a HUGE hop! I will have to set some hours aside to go visiting, Dix

I am in love with both of your cards, Therese! That first card is just so cute…I love cards with a lot of white space! And the succulent card is colored so beautifully…it is a real eyecatcher!! Thanks so much for making a video that shows us how you made these very creative cards. I so appreciate it!!

Hi Therese. LOVE your designs as always. Am loving this release with all those fabulous stamps and dies, but find I keep getting drawn to the Hope stamps and dies. ANOTHER product for my wish list, which is becoming ridiculously l o o o o n g. Thanks for your inspiration. Am going hunting back through your designs for your grey flower and leaf cards. I’ve never thought of using greys, but your designs have just stuck in my head and I’ve started colouring / cutting greys, but I’m not satisfied with my designs, so off to find yours for more inspiration, hehehehe. TFS. BEv.

I’m back again – so sorry. I found your grey and purple peony 3d die card, but I’m really rotten on the computer, and I’m sure you have done others as well with the grey flowers. That one stuns me every time I look at it. I wonder if you’d mind if I tried to replicate it? I don’t have the same cardstock, so it wouldn’t be exactly the same. Anyway, won’t do anything about it until you say I can. Do you have somewhere I can find all your cards? Sorry, I’m a giant pain in the butt, I know.

Hi Bev,
It would make me very happy if you CASE’d my card design, that’s why I put them out there and that’s where I get inspiration too. What a wonderful community we have, and if you want to, I would love to see your design! Have a fabulous day, Hugs Therese

You’re water colouring was so worth the little hassle hot mess stage as the finished result is soooooo brilliant, wish even my hot messes looked as good as yours, must mail you a shot of a real oow ! Loving the neighborhood die, really needed that 6 months ago when my daughter got her first ‘ adult’ house.

You might be the only person ever to look at that neon green and think “I could no-line with that!” 😀 But somehow, it works! The magic of soldiering on with watercolor. I really like how you got those purple shades in there. I think I would have been to scared to try it, but you can’t argue with those results! Also, what a great idea to use the negative space of the sentiment. I think that creates an entirely different look than the positive and adds a lot of interest. Thanks for sharing such a great card with us!
